    #12: Agentic Speed — both sides of the race just went AI
    May 18 2026
    Top Story: The Race at Agentic Speed — Two things happened in the same week that belong in the same sentence. TeamPCP releases Shai-Hulud source code, launches BreachForums "supply chain challenge." — The group posted the complete worm framework to GitHub (since removed, but forked) with detailed deployment instructions, and announced a contest on BreachForums offering $1,000 in Monero to anyone who uses it to compromise open-source packages. TanStack CI cache poisoned, hitting OpenAI and Mistral AI. — A pull request from a throwaway fork (attributed to TeamPCP's ongoing supply-chain campaign) triggered a workflow that wrote to the shared CI cache. node-ipc compromised via inactive maintainer account (690K weekly downloads). — Three malicious versions exfiltrate credentials and secrets via DNS TXT queries to a fake Azure-themed domain — same package that shipped protestware in 2022, different attacker, far more capable. Palo Alto Networks' first AI-driven "Patch Wednesday" produced 26 CVEs — versus their typical fewer than five. — As part of Project Glasswing and the Trusted Access for Cyber program, Palo Alto ran frontier models (Mythos, Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5-Cyber) against their own 130+ products. XBOW independently benchmarks Anthropic's Mythos for offensive security. — Confirmed: Mythos is "a significant step up over all existing models" for finding vulnerability candidates from source code. Akamai acquires LayerX for $205M (all-cash). — AI and browser security platform providing shadow AI discovery, gen-AI data loss prevention, and protection for AI browsers and plugins. OpenAI in talks with EU regulators to provide access to a cyber-focused GPT-5.5 model — that can identify and exploit software vulnerabilities, after EU cybersecurity agencies were unable to gain access to Anthropic's Mythos.

    #11: Look, an Instruction!
    May 11 2026
    Top Story: The Prompt Was the Payload — Two Agent-Framework RCEs in Seven Days — Two independent disclosures landed inside seven days, and they collapse to the same sentence: a model read an instruction it shouldn't have trusted, and a tool downstream did exactly what the parsed text said. Cisco announces intent to acquire Astrix Security. — Cisco's May 4 blog post by SVP Peter Bailey says Astrix will fold into Cisco Identity Intelligence, Cisco Secure Access, Duo IAM, and Splunk. An X user drained ~$150,000 from a Grok-linked Bankr wallet via Morse-encoded prompt injection (May 4, 2026). — The mechanics, per Giskard's write-up: the attacker first sent a "Bankr Club Membership NFT" to Grok's auto-provisioned wallet, which granted the holder "Executive" permissions and bypassed standard transfer limits. HiddenLayer — "AI Threat Landscape Report 2026." — The headline figure surfaced via the report's coverage: roughly 1 in 8 reported AI breaches now involves agentic systems, alongside the recurring supply-chain-of-models statistic that 93% of orgs use public or open-weight model repositories and most don't scan inbound models consistently. The full PDF is gated; numbers are reported as cited unless you pull the original. Curator's Corner: "Look, an instruction!" That's the bug. Curated by Asaf Nakash. Voices by AI. Opinions by human.
